Perform non-programming tasks with coding agents

Most coding agents treat prompt construction like retrieval: gather more files, add more context, hope the model figures it out. But that approach breaks down fast. As context grows, irrelevant code competes for attention, and when the window fills, agents start compressing their own memory—often mid-task. What looks like “forgetting” is usually just degraded context. This article explores a different approach: treating prompt construction like a compiler that decides what to keep, what to reduce, and what to discard entirely.
